Falcata

Falcata

Epic Armoury’s Falcata is a single-edged latex-hybrid sword inspired by weapons used by the ancient Iberian mercenaries. The blade is shaped to act like an axe head, delivering powerful blows, while the long cutting edge still allows it to effectively stab and jab like the best of them. The Falcata is a handmade foam product, hand-painted to look like real steel, wood, and gold embellishments. The 10 cm grip at the end of the Falcata is molded with high realistic detail and hooked in shape, much like the traditional weapon.

The blade is made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 7 mm fiberglass core, built with safety in mind! It is finished with a strong latex coating. The grip is a polyurethane cast that requires no maintenance, meaning you’ll enjoy using this sword at your LARP game for a long time!

• Available in 60, 85 and 100 cm length
